Barcelona have started their squad planning for next season, with sporting director Deco leading that aspect. He will liaise with Xavi Hernandez to decide who is wanted for the 2024-25 campaign, and one of those expected to stay on is Sergi Roberto.
Roberto’s contract at Barcelona is set to expire in less than two months. However, there is a great desire from Xavi especially to see him extend his stay, and the hope is that it could be finalised very soon.
As per Relevo, a meeting is set for next week, at which point Roberto will discuss a renewal with Barcelona. A face-to-face already took place earlier this week, and there is a total willingness for the two parties to continue their relationship for another 12 months. As such, the expectation is that things will be finalised during this next meeting.
🚨 Sergi Roberto's renewal is imminent! It could be sealed next week. @MatteMoretto, @alexpintanel

Roberto has proven himself to be a valuable squad player this season, and given that he is on a very low wage compared to the rest of his teammates, it makes complete sense for Barcelona to ask him to continue.
